Like someone said, they are what we locals call "tunos." You can read more here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuna_(music)I saw these guys in the streets of SDC two summers ago and I've always wondered Who they were and what they were singing about. Does anyone know? It was just more of the magic of SDC.
I think it's fabulous! Who could object to beautiful music like that?!I saw these guys in the streets of SDC two summers ago and I've always wondered Who they were and what they were singing about. Does anyone know? It was just more of the magic of SDC.
They could be a "tuna" but they do not look like the group "Tuna de Derecho de Santiago de Compostela." They do not match the photos I have of that group. Nor are they playing under the arcade across from the cathedral.Yep, Tuna de Derecho de Santiago de Compostela. They have a very nice CD with their songs. There is something magical about crossing the Plaza after a wonderful Spanish dinner at Los Caracoles and hearing their music echo around you. Or, maybe it was just the Ula. And, as someone pointed out, I think the group itself has its roots in the Canary Islands.

Oh I love this and hope my daughter and I get to see them on our Camino next May 2020!I saw these guys in the streets of SDC two summers ago and I've always wondered Who they were and what they were singing about. Does anyone know? It was just more of the magic of SDC.
I was in Italy a few years ago and there was a guitar player in Sorrento playing the guitar and singing beautiful music. I purchased his CD and had the bus driver play it while we traveled and continued on our tour, assuming it was Italian. Others on the bus loved it and wished they had known about this beautiful Italian CD...I learned a few days later the CD was in Russian! How embarrassing for me! Why didn't the Italian bus driver tell us it was not Italian! He must have been smirking to himself the whole time!I bought their CD.
No better souvenir than music. They bring back memories and entertain at the same time.
My current favourites are this one, one I bought in Nepal, and one from a Spanish guitar soloist playing outside the Prado in Madrid.

I guess they are the Tuna Troyanos de Compostela ☺? Their outfit (see below) and flag/banner are the same as in the videoclip posted earlier in this thread. I’m pretty certain that it’s them.The poster behind says that they are at Casa da Troia museum, Rua da Troia, 5.
Not all of them but several of them are in both videos. Or else they are doppelgängers ☺. Did you ever visit this small museum about student life in Santiago in earlier times?But the guys are not the same.
Sorry I've missed them the four times I've been to Santiago...always in bed before 10:00pm!
I showed this to my mom and she said this has been a long standing tradition of Spain however she remembers these done in the middle of the night by much younger men, in university serenading young women.I saw these guys in the streets of SDC two summers ago and I've always wondered Who they were and what they were singing about. Does anyone know? It was just more of the magic of SDC.
Ok, I'll see about next time!Stop staying in Albergue's and enjoy the Spanish nightlife which commences later than 10pm
Going to bed at Dusk ???????????????
